APC Overnight has announced that Ivor Skinner will retire from
his position of Managing Director, a position he has held for the
last three years. Under his leadership, APC has grown into a
£58 million turnover company with pre-tax profits of
£3.4 million. Each month APC delivers 1.4 million parcels
nationwide - and the company is on course for another record year
in 2012.
When he took over the role as MD in 2008 it was a critical time
for the economy with the worldwide recession looming, and this
would prove challenging not only for APC but also for all
businesses in general. With this in mind APC required a focused and
determined individual to step up to the plate and Ivor Skinner was
certainly the man for the task.
Ivor Skinner's strong leadership has helped APC weather the
storm of an ongoing deep recession and guided the company into
record growth and success. The results speak for themselves. His
enthusiasm, drive, people skills and passion for success have all
helped APC rise above the challenges presented by the recession and
increased the company's service levels and increased the company's
size and stature in the parcel industry overall. He has taken the
business to such new levels that APC are relocating to a larger hub
building next year to accommodate the growth.
The APC legacy that Ivor Skinner has created includes the
company's imminent move to a new £14 million purpose-built
sortation centre in Staffordshire. The 128,000 ft2 national hub
will more than double APC's capacity and is essential to meeting
the high demand from customers. Although retiring, he will continue
to be very much involved in the company as a main Board
Director.
